Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.

What changed

Cost burden fell 6.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 54.2% to 47.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±5.5pp).

Broader trend
None of the similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction; 10% moved the other way. Lynwood started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.

Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.
